Phantom of the Opera

Luke sang Phantom of the Opera at his first voice recital on Saturday night. He did an awesome job. He did make some mistakes which he is bummed about, but overall we are counting it as a victory because it is a PR (personal record) compared to all of the other times he has performed in front of people. He has been taking voice lessons for a couple of months now and it is helping him be more confident in front of people, work on his middle range between falsetto and his normal voice which he always skipped before, breathing, and not being so tight in his larynx. His voice teacher sang Christine's part and it was awesome. I got the chills when they were escalating and Luke sang "Sing my angel of music". This mask took us a couple of hours to make that morning. We put plastic wrap on his face and then paper mache`d it. I had to pretty much cook it with the blow dryer to get it to dry in time and so it cracked a little. Obviously we would have put a lot more layers on it had we had the time. So much for planning ahead. Luke was a good phantom though. And his voice is beautiful. He is singing "Oh Holy Night at his Christmas recital at the end of November.
